Calculations This page explains the calculations used in the Risk Exposure Calculator. Accuracy The financial value of weighing errors is calculated as:

scale error X days per year X trucks per day X price of goods per lb. or kg.

Reliability The cost of unplanned downtime is calculated as the sum of these values:

· Cost of lost business days downtime X net load X trucks per day X price of goods X ( profit margin X .01 ) X ( percent lost business X .01 )

· Cost of increased overhead during disruptions days downtime X cost added processing X trucks per day X ( 100 - percent lost business )

· Cost of repairs Value entered by the user (parts, labor, travel, etc.)
